Mailbag: This Is What “The Public Wants” The Camaro To Look Like

This article is part of the GM Authority Mailbag series, where the GM Authority Crew features and replies to your questions, comments, and observations.

Just a few days ago, we received an email from David directing us to the very image you see before you: a rendering of a (modified fifth-gen) Chevy Camaro with some styling cues from the 1970s-era sports car, named by its creator as the Camaro SS70. And according to David, this is “what the public wants” for all-new 2015 Camaro to look like.

In his message, David was very passionate about the rendering’s design and stated that “My boss, myself, and a list I have of 3,000 people would hands down buy one of these if it looked identical” to the photo. David really wants to see the car in the image seen here pushed through to production, but we have a feeling some of you might feel rather differently.

I like it. I think the front stylling can easily be applied to the smaller archetecture planned for the next gen. The back glass slightly wrapping the edges of the rear pillars should also improve visibility over the current shape while also showing the styling cue from the 70-74 back glass. This would be the last retro version needed IMHO.

No no no no no no no no no no no…..with this not only would the Camaro be a fat pig but now it would be hideous. My boss said its hideous too! And 500 people, my cat, and the Loch Ness monster said with out a doubt……hands (flippers and paws) down that if the Camaro looked like this I’d but a Mustang.

Hell no! Stop fooling ourselves people. The current generation is enough retro in a seriously modernize world. When GM designs a Car today for the future, they have to be concern about global appeal, and not just a few who might say retro.

Furthermore, if Camaro wants to gain global appael for GM, this design in not going to do it. Far from that it might set this car sales so far behind it competitors you would not believe it. I say, an Evolution of the current Camaro but a bit smaller with a modernize look ,will continue to do the trick on the Alpha platform.

What it needs is modern styling cues. The car would look so much better if the headlights were a combination of Dodge Challenger and Bentley Continental GT. The B-Pillar needs work. Overall I would favor the design if it were more modern styled.
